A Dames good time

Starting today, members of Les Dames d'Escoffier International will hit Dallas for their annual conference.
Les Dames is a group for women in the food and wine biz. If you're a Dallas foodie, you probably know a Dame. Cheesemaker Paula Lambert is a member, as is Blue Mesa Grill owner Liz Baron and York Street chef-owner Sharon Hage. I'm a member too, so I'll be making the rounds with the rest of the group.
So what do a bunch of food types do in Dallas? Turns out, the same things the rest of us do. Today, early arrivals will hit the State Fair of Texas; on Friday, it's the museums in Fort Worth, with a demonstration by chuck wagon cook Tom Perini thrown in. Then, of course, shopping and popovers at Neiman Marcus.
Saturday is reserved for more serious subjects, like a comparison of grass-fed and grain-fed beef. The conference wraps Saturday night with the eight-course Grande Dame dinner at the Hotel Crescent Court, prepared by Dames and members of the World Master Chef Society.
Sample course: Lamb Loin Wrapped with Mushroom Farce and Beet Demi Glace with Truffle Whipped Potatoes, by chefs Patrick Mitchell and Lori Short Finkelman.
OK, maybe it's not your average weekend in Dallas.
